Dolphins Rebuffing Trade Interest in Jaylen Waddle from "Several Teams"

Saturday, October 18, 2:59 PM

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that "several teams" are interested in trading for Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, but the Dolphins have no interest in trading him. The 26-year-old has recorded 29 catches for 390 yards and three touchdowns on 40 targets through his first six games of 2025. In two games since taking over for the injured Tyreek Hill (knee) as Miami's clear WR1, Waddle has recorded 12 catches for 205 yards and a score on 17 targets. Waddle is under contract with the Dolphins through the 2028 season, so the team is under no pressure to move him despite their ugly 1-5 record. With Hill out for the remainder of the season, Waddle profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver as the clear top option in the passing game for Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Matthew Golden In Flex Play Consideration Against Arizona

Friday, October 17, 5:20 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden is getting better fantasy production little by little each week, and looks to get into the end zone when the Packers head to Arizona to take on the Cardinals in Week 7. Golden has seen a slight uptick in involvement in targets when he's on the field, as his targets per route run have crept upwards in the last three weeks, up to last week's season-high 21.7 percent. In that three-game stretch, Golden has also averaged five targets, so there's room to grow there as well. Even with the spread-out nature of the targets in the passing game, Golden has clear upside and will be a flex-worthy fantasy wide receiver in Week 7 for Green Bay's matchup against the Cardinals.
